In the flyer winding method, a winding is produced by feeding the wire via a roll or through a nozzle that is attached to a flyer that is rotating at a certain distance from the coil.

energy

A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to use the conservation of angular momentum so as to efficiently store rotational energy.

energy

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.

marine

The full strength liquid received from the supplier, which is diluted and processed to produce foam. When using portable foam making equipment the concentrate is usually introduced to the system directly from the 25 litre storage drums.

marine

Fixed, low- and high-expansion foam systems are permitted in the machinery spaces and fixed, low-expansion systems are required on cargo tank decks of tankers.

marine

In this type of a fender, the core consists of closed-cell, resilient, energy absorbing foam covered with protective, seamless polyurethane elastomer skin.

marine

The mixture produced by diluting foam concentrate with water before processing to make foam.

marine

A foam system has a storage tanks containing foam concentrate.

marine

An aerated solution that is used for fire prevention and fire-fighting. Foam is an efficient agent for extinguishing most liquid petroleum fires.

energy

Inlet air fogging consists of spraying finely atomized water (fog) into the inlet airflow of a gas turbine engine.

energy

A foil is a solid object with a shape such that when placed in a moving fluid at a suitable angle of attack the lift (force generated perpendicular to the fluid flow) is substantially larger than the drag (force generated parallel to the fluid flow).

marine

Any variety of hatch cover, which hinges and folds during opening.

energy

Food energy is chemical energy that animals (including humans) derive from their food and molecular oxygen through the process of cellular respiration.

energy

Food versus fuel is the dilemma regarding the risk of diverting farmland or crops for biofuels production to the detriment of the food supply.

energy

The foot-pound force is a unit of work or energy in the engineering and gravitational systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure.

energy

The measured area that a building, machine or power plant covers on the ground.

marine

CAD/CAM/CIM system from Spanish consulting and engineering house Sener.

energy

Force is a vector quantity, which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.

marine

The title of a standard clause in marine contracts exempting the parties from nonfulfillment of their obligations as a result of conditions beyond their control, such as earthquakes, floods, or war.
